Tanu I. Raj from NME gave Ad Mare 2 out of 5 stars, calling it "inconsistent" and "choppy" due to the uneven transitions from electropop to pop rock to hip hop in "O.O" Although he appreciated the simpler melodies in "Tank", he concluded that the latter was not able "to alleviate the damage that 'O.O' does".
